Apple's little corner of Azeroth

The New Adventures of Old Apple, Part 1

She is a lovely Samsung QX with an Nvidia graphics card, and her name is Romana. Yes, I name my electronics, what of it? :P She’s currently downloading WoW and has about 6GB to go – I’m probably going to log on shortly with background downloading so I can adjust my settings – I’m starting entirely from scratch, so I have quite a bit to set up. :)

I should be back at some point later this evening with an update of what she’s running like. PLEASE be good, Romana, I’m counting on you!

I knoooow! I copied over my Dominoes and my Grid settings, just because they had been a pain to get just right, but everything else is fresh – and even not fully downloaded, I’m getting 30fps in Hyjal with the “Good” graphics setting. :D

Donna is the old lappie, and yes, I’m keeping her for writing – I’m not a big fan of how Scrivener feels on Windows for some reason, at the least, and plus it would be so much WORK to transfer EVERYTHING over. I just need to get Romana some music and we’re set…

Also, regarding settings – I found that putting everything on max would get me a framerate of about 20 or so in Dalaran on a normal day, but dropping the shadow quality down to about half way increased that to around 40.

Grats on the new computer, Apple. I recently upgraded as well, and it makes a big difference. When I turned my view distance all the way up for the first time I was absolutely amazed at how much you could SEE. It seemed like a whole new world. Framerates were pretty spotty, tho, so I turned it down a notch and only crank it up to Ultra for taking screenshots.
